The panel discussion was amazing. It was the first of a series of events on Shaping Cities that we are going to do.
Adam Rose

The key themes that emerged from tonight’s panel discussion were around the role of Government, around the role of private sector, how those two interact and secondly the position of regulation and whether law is keeping up with the demands, the needs of smart cities of developers of investors.

The most important points that we learnt about today are the interplay between technology and the built environment and how autonomous transport systems are going to change the way our cities look in the future.
Josef Hargrave
Assistant Director & Global Foresight Manager, Arup Foundation
When we think about the future of the cities I think it is really important to think realistically so not only to think about technology but to really look at all kinds of different factors across the social, economic, the technical, the environmental and the political.
Craig David
Commercial Director, Transport for London
The pace of change within London is only going to increase. By the end of this year we are going to be turning TFL into a Telecoms Company. We are going to be installing 4G coverage across all of our stations and tunnels, building on that to create a fibre network that will really address connectivity across London.

The challenges for lawyers is actually understanding what the regulatory regime is in relation to the privacy issues associated with the collection of data and how to create some sort of framework to protect people but also to foster innovation and development which the data inputs into and which the private sector can actually benefit from.

There is a lot of data out there which will inform you or help you forecast what is going to happen and therefore help you make better decisions and build a better physical environment for the future.

We covered all sorts of cities around the world we covered the aging population, data, climate change and it was fascinating.
